Answer:

A) that states had the constitutional right to secede from the United States

Explanation:

James Buchanan was the 15th president of USA. It was during his presidency that seven southern states seceded from the Union and brought the nation on the brink of civil war.  

He was from Pennsylvania and began his career in Pennsylvania state's legislature. He  later served in both the houses of the U.S congress.

Buchanan was a democrat and he morally opposed slavery while believing that it was supported by the US constitution.. He got elected to the White House in 1856.

He tried to maintain peace between the anti and pro slavery factions in the government.<u><em>  In 1856 general election Buchanan supported the idea that slavery was an issue to be decide by the individual territories and states while his challenger John Fremont asserted that the federal  government should bad slavery in all the territories.</em></u>

He did not seek reelection after his first term as president but he proposed that sates did not have the right to secede and he had no constitutional power to stop them. The slavery crisis was left for the Lincoln administration to resolve.

I need an essay on current Latin America
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Latin America represents 1/10 of the world's population, and geographically can be located from the land extensions of Mexico, until the Patagonia at Argentina. Some of the most relevant elements of today's culture in Latin America are; Religion, Values, Attitudes, Social structure, Social stratification, Language and Gift-giving hospitality. The predominant religion throughout history in Latin America has been Catholicism. From big cities to small villages, churches, basilicas, and cathedrals are found. Catholicism left its mark, from customs and values to architecture and art. During many years in many countries the Catholic Church had power over all civil institutions, education, and law.

An important factor that might cause a cultural change in Latin America is Globalization. Industrialization is growing in Latin America rapidly and this  is a consequence of globalization. Some of the changes that are likely to occur are modernization of cities which will make rich people richer, and poor people poorer. Mega-cities are being built by multinational corporations in cities such as Santiago in Chile.
